I don't like Google's new favicon

Have you seen your Google tab lately?

Today, the internet giant updated it's favicon into this. Personally, I like the previous one. This new one looks like an 8 with a microsoft window at the background. The old capital G icon is way too better than this new one.

The new favicon was designed by AndrĂ© Resende of the University of Campinas in Brazil.  
...design that inspired our new favicon. His placement of a white 'g' on a color-blocked background was highly recognizable and attractive, while seeming to capture the essence of Google.
